Atlast Microsoft has opened up the curtains of the much awaited imaging technology preview “Photosynth” Go grab a session of technical preview here. (All the stuff you enjoy is actually will be done in a web page..)

Q. What does Photosynth do?

  • A. Photosynth combines hundreds or thousands of regular digital photos of a scene to present a detailed 3D model, giving viewers the sensation of smoothly gliding around the scene from every angle. The scene can be constructed regardless of whether the photos are from a single or multiple sources. It’s like a hybrid of a slide show and a gaming experience that lets the viewer zoom in to see greater detail or zoom out for a more expansive view. By viewing the photos in a 3D context you are able to get a better sense for the place where they were captured.

I cant wait to jump in to this page and roam around the virtual place stitched by Photosynth using some snaps.

Fun, Technopati, Web 2.0 and GYM

I’m not able to get past the system check and I’ve tried IE6 and IE7. I’m getting an “Error on page.” which is:

Line: 38
Char: 14
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: http://labs.live.com/photosynth/SystemCheck.htm

Anybody else with this problem?

It must have been a temporary glitch because it’s working for me now. It’s awesome! Like you, I can’t wait to upload my own pictures into it!
